§ Rear-Admiral Morgan Gilesasked the Secretary of State for Defence how many retired officers of the three armed services, including Indian armed services, are in receipt of retired pay under each of the 10 retired pay codes; how many of those officers retired under the 1919 code had their retired pay reassessed because of war service; and, in each case, how many are over 60 years of age and, of the latter, how many are over 70 years of age.
§ Mr. ReynoldsThe figures are as follows:
Officers on retired pay Those over 60 years of age included in Col. A A B Code 1919 3,228 2,938 1919 3,451 3,424 (re-assessed for War Service) 1945 13,859 10,573 1950 6,125 4,356 1956 10,580 3,285 1960 4,986 954 1962 4,207 563 1964 3,717 241 1966 4,205 170 1968 2,791 65 The number of officers on each code who are over 70 years of age cannot be provided without disproportionate effort.
